It’s Abe Sapien Month at Multiversity! To see all sorts of Abe content, like our “Evolution of Abe Sapien” contest, fantastic original art, interviews and more, click here.
To celebrate our “Evolution of Abe Sapien” art contest, which gives every fan with some ambition and a modicum of artistic talent a chance to have their work published in an issue of “Abe Sapien: Dark and Terrible,” as well as take home a complete set of Hellboy Library Editions, we decided to bring in some ringers, to show us how they interpret everyone’s favorite fish-man. We will be posting pieces each day for this entire month, so come join us for 31 Days of Abe!
April Fools! We totally planned on having only 31 Days of Abe sketches, but so many artists that we asked and expected a polite “no” from sent in amazing pieces. And then, artists were reaching out to us, asking if they could participate. So, we are going to go a little bit longer, finally wrapping up with some really special day of release content on April 3. So, for the early part of this week, keep enjoying some amazing Abes!
I know what you’re thinking – didn’t I already see a Riley Rossmo piece? And didn’t you also give away a different Riley piece on Twitter? Yes we did – but Riley gave us THREE different Abe pieces, so here is #3!
Riley Rossmo is a Canadian treasure, who is currently finishing up his run on “Bedlam” for Image Comics. Riley has done a number of Image series (“Green Wake,” “Cowboy Ninja Viking,” “Proof”), and is 1/3 of the way through a current Image mini, “Dia De Los Muertos,” where he illustrates short stories by some of the greats in the comic world – issue #2 is out next week, and features stories by Joshua Williamson, Kurtis Wiebe, and Jeff Mariotte. His other credits include an 8-issue run on Marvel’s “Daken: Dark Wolverine,” and various covers and fill in spots for IDW and Image books. You can follow him on Twitter (@rileyrossmo1) or visit his website for a nice gallery of his prior work.
And make sure to pick up “Abe Sapien” #1 on April 3 from Dark Horse!
